It’s not an earth-shattering move, but weeks ahead of the start of the San Antonio Spurs’ NBA training camp, the team made a move that opened up a roster spot — kind of. In waiving Jamaree Bouyea, they now have a slot to sign a player to a two-way contract.

So far, the answer is no. Things are already off to a rough start the big man entering his third season. Mere days before the start of camp, the Hornets announced Williams strained a tendon in his left foot during an offseason workout Thursday, and he’ll be out until he’s re-evaluated in at least two weeks.

A rocky Summer League reinforced that Dadiet is a long-term project likely destined for the G-League. But the teenaged Frenchman is also a player of intrigue during camp as the franchise’s first first-round draft pick since Quentin Grimes.

AJ Lawson is the Mavericks player with the most to prove during the team's upcoming 2024-25 NBA training camp.
